Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Bazira

​ BAZI′RA (τὰ Βάζιρα) or BEZI′RA, a fort of the Assaceni, at the S. foot of M. Paropamisus, taken by Alexander on his march into India. (Arrian, Anab. iv. 27, 28; Curt viii. 10. § 2.) It is usually identified with Bajore or Bishore, NW. ot Peshawer; but it is by no means certain that this is the true site.
